What Squash & Racquetball Victoria does

Squash & Racquetball Victoria is the state sporting association for squash and racquetball in Victoria, Australia, operating as a non-profit under the national governing body Squash Australia and affiliated with the World Squash Federation. Founded in 2009 and headquartered at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre in Albert Park, the organization serves competitive players, racquetball participants, junior players aged U9–U23, accredited referees and officials, and a network of affiliated clubs across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Its service portfolio spans sanctioned competition pathways (Victorian Open, Ballarat Open, Victorian Closed & Youth Championships, Squash Pennant inter-club league), junior development programs (Squash Stars school-based initiative), coaching and referee accreditation (Level 0–5 pathways via Squash Australia Learning Centre and World Squash Officiating), and ancillary services such as the Rent a Referee statewide referee supply program and a small merchandise shop. The underlying technology infrastructure is built on the revolutioniseSPORT platform, which handles membership, event registration, draws and results, and shop functionality, supplemented by ScoreLive for real-time tournament scoring and national integrations with MySquashAUS and SquashLevels for member identification and ranking.

Revenue is diversified across recurring membership fees, individual event registration fees, paid referee services ($70–$120 per engagement), regional council and government grants (Sport and Recreation Victoria, Australian Sports Commission, multiple local councils), and minor merchandise sales. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer through online self-serve registration, with affiliated clubs acting as physical venues and channels for grassroots participation. The organization holds no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and operates with a 13-person staff.
